A Grief
And don't you think it's a grief to me
She's grafted onto the apple tree?
From under under bough she speaks to me
And don't you think it's a grief to him
He peels the bark and finds her skin
She's stretching out, she's seeping in
She's gone, she's gone but she won't go
And it's as clear as clear can be
Traces of blood upon the snow
As apples grow on a winter tree
Apple canker, bitter pip, silver leaf and fire blight
They moved out when you moved in
The flesh grows plump, the skin grows bright
The stories stories slip, the stories bleed
The ink blots out and overwrites
Forcing in an awkward rhyme
That will wear thin and fade in time
Truth be told, truth be hidden
One day unbidden slips through the door
And spots the bloodstains on the floor
A grief to him, oh a grief to me
But stay oh stay in the apple tree
You're radiant in the apple tree
She's grafted onto the apple tree?
From under under bough she speaks to me
And don't you think it's a grief to him
He peels the bark and finds her skin
She's stretching out, she's seeping in
She's gone, she's gone but she won't go
And it's as clear as clear can be
Traces of blood upon the snow
As apples grow on a winter tree
Apple canker, bitter pip, silver leaf and fire blight
They moved out when you moved in
The flesh grows plump, the skin grows bright
The stories stories slip, the stories bleed
The ink blots out and overwrites
Forcing in an awkward rhyme
That will wear thin and fade in time
Truth be told, truth be hidden
One day unbidden slips through the door
And spots the bloodstains on the floor
A grief to him, oh a grief to me
But stay oh stay in the apple tree
You're radiant in the apple tree
